    Well, I finished and beat my last 5 mile time so I'm chuffed! It's a PB! :D

    Found the start really crowded but that did help me keep my pace down so I can't complain really! I ran all the way to the water station, took a short break to get some water then walked ran the hilly stretches after that. I found the last mile really tough, the gradual incline was hard going! But, I made it and ran the last 500m or so to the finish.

    Marshaling at the start was awkward, I don't think anyone noticed that there were different 'waves' to start from. I stood at the back of the runners wave and I couldn't even hear the guy on the megaphone so hadn't a clue what was going on. Marshals on the course were brilliant though, great at keeping up the cheering and clapping. That always helps me in a race so thank you, volunteers!!

    I'll have a longer race report up on my blog later, just wanted to say it was a great run for me and I really enjoyed it!
